The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
Friday Flashback

I haven't heard a selection from this group in years but as I was listening to my Pandora player the other day, and one of their selections came across. When I heard them I had to smile, because I had long forgotten about them. As big of a music fan as I am, I have let go of my music collection activities in favor of buying my wife and kids more of what they want. However, since we have the internet these days it's not as big of a sacrifice as it has to be, because I can still get exposed to good music. I can hear Lo now telling me that I should also buy myself some of what I want, but that's another post topic altogether.

Back to the point at hand. The group D'Influence hails out of London and they are billed as an Acid Jazz band, but they do some great soul alternative music as well. Listening to them brings to mind Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Omar (who I personally haven't listened to since 1994), and Carleen Anderson just to give you an idea. The songs I wanted to share were "Funny How Things Change" and "Good For We", but I couldn't find them online and I have their album entitled "Good For We" on cassette. Remember those! They have gone the way of the 8 Track; so sad. I still have music in my basement, good music I might add, that's on cassette. I may have to go pull some of it and get my reminisce on.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you. D'Influence
